To explore intra-ethnic diversity in patterns of environmental health injustice inMiami (Florida), we relatedmodeled estimates of cancer risks from on-road pollutants from the 2005 National-scale Air Toxics Assessment with 2005–2009 American Community Survey tract-level sociodemographic data. Neighborhoods with lower incomes and higher proportions of Hispanics were at risk.When disaggregating ‘...

Noise has many ill effects on living beings as well as non-living things. The adverse effects of noise may include noise induced hearing loss, sleep disruption, speech interference, reduction in human work efficiency and annoyance. In this paper an effort has been made to develop a fuzzy expert based model to study the annoyance among the road side dwellers, employees working in road side offic...

introduction: air pollution is one of the problems of the recent century caused by vehicles, industries and other urban activities. the city of yazd faces air pollution due to its high population, vehicular traffic and industrial places around the city. one of the important parameters of air pollution is suspended air particles that have harmful effects on the health of people, plants and objec...

This study aims to investigate geo-referenced vehicular noise pollution in Port Harcourt metropolis of Rivers State, Nigeria. Three types data were gathered for this study. Data from traffic measured decibel (dB) using Noise Dosimeter (ND); counts carried out by observing and counting flow at junctions roundabouts as well location map was established Global Positioning System (GPS) instrument p...

Autonomous vehicles promise numerous improvements to vehicular traffic: an increase in both highway capacity and traffic flow because of faster response times, less fuel consumption and pollution thanks to more foresighted driving, and hopefully less accidents thanks to collision avoidance systems. And their drivers can save time for more useful activities. In order for these vehicles to safely...

Vehicular nodes can share the information on the move by forming a temporary network. Routing information shared between vehicles is to be stored in a permanent place for the future use. In that case, vehicular cloud concept is used to increase availability of the data more positively. Vehicular information are connected to cloud using internet. It is used to provide anytime access to the user....

During the last decade, the research on vehicular networks has led to the proposal of countless network solutions specifically designed for vehicular environments. Such solutions encompass all network paradigms,with original algorithms and architectures proposed for next-generation roadside cellular access networks, pure vehicular ad hoc networks, and opportunistic disruption-tolerant vehicular...

Mobility management is a challenging research area for vehicular networks to provide a variety of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Traditional mobility management schemes for MANET are not applicable to vehicular networks because of their distinguished mobility characteristics. Providing uninterrupted service to the mobile nodes in vehicular networks is a major concern for ...

Vehicular networking has become a significant research area due to its specific features and applications such as standardization, efficient traffic management, road safety and infotainment. Vehicles are expected to carry relatively more communication systems, on board computing facilities, storage and increased sensing power. Hence, several technologies have been deployed to maintain and promo...
